In this presentation, James J. Murchie will discuss the following:

EIP believes that the best risk-adjusted returns in commodity businesses come from companies that make steady, low double-digit returns for providing a mundane service. Imposing capital discipline on these companies through a forced payout of most of their free cash flow keeps income coming to their investors.
